[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, [b]the money is already gone. [/b]If your FIL/MIL die with debts, those will be paid off from assets before there is any inheritance.

I would focus on being crystal clear with your DH that you aren't willing to support SIL financially at all. Get your own ducks in a row by tying up money in your retirement accounts, house, and 529s so it'll be harder to access. And you can look into what social programs are available for her. [/quote]

I agree that the money is gone. The fil was likely asking as a courtesy/notice but op's dh's refusal is not likely to stop fil from helping out the sil in need. He probably called after giving it to her.  This is sad because it is their own money and they should not be checking in with one child if it's OK to give to the other BUT I see how zero inheritance is quite an unfair blow given the help they've given to the sibling. I would not count on anything and protect yourselves from sil's eventual money requests because they will come.[/quote]
